Accommodation distribution service HotelRunner has acquired RateFor in a bid to broaden its range of services to properties and online travel agencies.
Terms of the deal to buy two-year old RateFor were not disclosed.
HotelRunner says the acquisition is part of a strategy to provide a "complete tech stack" for hotels.
This will include property management tools, direct booking services, channel management and rate intelligence and comparison via the RateFor platform.
Turkey-based RateFor's team, including founders Mesut Mert and Alican Soysal, will join HotelRunner as part of the acquisition.
Founder and managing partner Ali Beklen says: "Our goal is to take both ourselves and the currently stagnant tourism ecosystem one step further through strategic moves.
